I just picked up my new Volkswagen Lavida and I'm super excited, but I need to pay attention to the break-in period. For the first 1,500 kilometers, drive gently and don't exceed 100 km/h to avoid engine damage; also, avoid loading too much heavy stuff for trips, as the tires and suspension won't handle it well. Warm up the engine for a few dozen seconds when starting, and don't turn the AC to max immediately—wait until the engine is running before using it to protect the battery and compressor. Don't fill up the tank completely when refueling; leave some space to prevent expansion. Avoid wiping the paint with rough cloths—use a soft cloth dampened with water to gently clean it. The Lavida's steering wheel is quite responsive, so don't turn it too sharply; just take time to get used to it. The new car has a strong plastic smell inside, so I often open the windows for ventilation. Safety comes first when driving.

I've been driving my new Volkswagen Lavida for three months and realized maintenance is key. Don't delay the first service—follow the manual to change engine oil and filter around 1,500 km to keep the lubrication system clean. Check tire pressure monthly to ensure front-rear balance and reduce wear. Use neutral detergent when washing to prevent paint corrosion. Avoid spraying random chemicals on interiors, and gently wipe screens without water contact. Treat new brake pads gently by minimizing sudden stops to extend lifespan. Regularly inspect battery terminals for tightness, and start the engine for 10 minutes weekly when parked long-term. Paying attention to these details has kept my car in excellent condition.

When driving a new Volkswagen Lavida, safety should always come first. Fasten your seatbelt every time you get in the car, and activate the child locks in the rear seats to prevent accidents. Remember to turn on the lights during daytime driving and get used to the automatic headlight mode. When reversing, keep an eye on the camera but don’t rely solely on it—always check blind spots. New tires can be slippery in rainy conditions, so slow down and take turns smoothly without sudden braking. Avoid scraping the curb when parking to protect the chassis from damage. Strictly follow traffic rules, assess road conditions carefully when overtaking, and drive steadily during the break-in period.
